Charming village nestled in the meanders of the Canal du Midi, Capestang had good times in the Middle Ages. Today, its heritage testifies to this.
The Collegiate Church Saint-Étienne (Historic Monument), magnificent example of Southern Gothic (XIVth century), surprises by its airs of cathedral and its incompletion.
The castle (historical monument), vast residence, was the secondary residence of the archbishops of Narbonne. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, two of them built a magnificent ceremonial room for the reception, of which it preserves today besides very beautiful murals a magnificent painted ceiling illustrating around scenes of couples, caricatures or animals, the talent of the artists of the Middle Ages.
